The Ukrainian outfit managed to put up a good fight against Fenerbahce, but were hard done by Michy Batshuayi’s last-gasp winner. It was their fifth consecutive defeat across all competitions. And then, Dynamo Kiev got the better of Lviv 1-0 in an Ukrainian top flight fixture last Sunday. Vitaliy’s lone goal in the 32nd-minute was enough to separate the two sides. It was the Blue and Whites’ first league victory of the campaign from their opening three games.
Larnaca, on the other hand, have been going through similar form as that of their Thursday’s opponents. The Cypriot first Division side were also on the wrong side of a stoppage-time winner last week. Oier Sanjurjo levelled the score for Green-Yellows after Arthur Theate had opened the scoring, but Lorenz Assignon netted a 94th-minute winner for the Ligue 1 outfit.
